Written twenty years after his landmark survey of Denbighshire, this 1949 volume by the editor of Archaeologia Cambrensis serves as the definitive archaeological inventory for Flintshire. The monograph contains a meticulous parish-by-parish breakdown of regional excavations, weapon caches, and Roman roads. It details 203 individual photographic figures and drawings, including structural diagrams of the Bryn Siôn gold torc, the Ysceifiog pebble perforations, and the sepulchral urns excavated at Rhydwen. The work additionally includes a dedicated short appendix updating his 1929 Denbighshire gazetteer with newer discoveries.
